Lenovo Software Tools
Lenovo offers the following software tools that can help customers set up, use, and maintain the server at
no additional cost:
ThinkServer Deployment Manager
The ThinkServer Deployment Manager tool, a part of the server firmware, simplifies the process of
updating firmware, configuring system settings, configuring RAID, and installing supported Microsoft
Windows or Linux operating systems or VMware hypervisors and associated device drivers on a
ThinkServer system.
ThinkServer Operating System-based Platform Update Tool
The ThinkServer Operating System-based Platform Update Tool firmware update tool runs in the
server operating system and enables customers to maintain server firmware up-to-date to help
avoid unnecessary server outages.
ThinkServer Diagnostics
The ThinkServer Diagnostics software speeds up troubleshooting tasks to reduce service time by
diagnosing server problems, performing diagnostic tests, and collecting system information and
logs. The diagnostics software resides in the server firmware (Embedded edition), on a bootable
USB drive (Standalone edition), or in the operating system (Windows or Linux editions).
ThinkServer Partner Pack for vSphere vCenter Server
The ThinkServer Partner Pack for vSphere vCenter Server software provides detailed system
information about the ThinkServer systems in the VMware virtualized environment and enables
users to receive and view alerts, deploy server firmware updates, and perform tasks such as
launching a remote console and accessing web-based ThinkServer System Manager.
ThinkServer Partner Packs for Microsoft System Center
The ThinkServer Partner Pack for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) software
discovers ThinkServer systems and provides detailed system information about the managed
servers. The software also enables users to perform management tasks, such as restarting the
server or turning the server on or off, accessing the Remote Desktop Console through Remote
Desktop Protocol (RDP), accessing web-based ThinkServer System Manager and capture the latest
crash screen if the remote presence feature is enabled. The ThinkServer Partner Pack for Microsoft
System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) provides centralized firmware management of
